Yoon Suk-yeol’s Critics are Calling Him the Trump of Korea
It seems like the Korean left is getting desperate with the Presidential election just days away by comparing Yoon to Trump:
Is Yoon Suk-yeol the South Korean Trump?
That is what his opponents and critics seem to think for the many parallels the conservative candidate from the People Power Party has with former US President Donald Trump.
Both have made remarks that would be offensive to other countries, praised heavily controversial political figures, gone after foreigners and shown a poor understanding of feminism. On top of using anti-China rhetoric, the two also like to speak to their base on social media and announce policies that read like slogans. For example, Yoon’s “Abolish the Gender Equality Ministry” could be compared to Trump’s “Build the Wall.”
With just a week left before the election, the long list of similarities between the two outsiders who came to represent their respective countries’ mainstream conservative parties seems to be only growing.
Many voters in Korea seem to believe the March 9 presidential election is about the liberals and whether they should be allowed to stay in power after major missteps like their housing policies. But experts who talked to The Korea Herald said it may be about K-Trumpism, or the rise of the alt-right movement in Korea, as seen in the United States, United Kingdom and some other democracies around the world.

You can read more at the link, but this opinion piece also claims that the election of Yoon would be a blow to democracy. Notice how if a conservative wins its always a blow to democracy with the left? Just like Trump was voted out in 2020 there will be an election again in five years if Yoon some how wins this upcoming election. Democracy will continue in South Korea.
Most progressives would consider John F Kennedy and Harry Truman to be “alt-right”…
Korea should be so lucky
I thought you would be ecstatic that he is compared with your man-God, Donald Trump.

You have not been paying attention.
Dear Comrade Setnaffova had realized that Donald Trump created the things that he hates the most, the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines.
Since he has to continue his fake news and misinformation campaign against the vaccines, it would have looked ridiculous if he was supporting the person who had created the things he is going against.
So Setnaffova threw Trump under the bus and disavowed him.
Of course that doesn’t stop him from accusing us of being Trump supporters!
And Lee is equivalent to crooked Hillary. So what?
I’m amazed at how inflexible the rote spewing of leftist talking points has left our trollz
Now they begin to argue with each other, while still spewing inanities.
Only leftist “journalists” worship Trump. His supporters (among which I fall due to the lack of candidates who love America in either major party) do not see him like Andrea Mitchell saw Hillary or Chris Mathews saw Obama.
Our “God-man” is only Jesus Christ, because He is the only God-man.
Does he have big rallies? Sure! But you misunderstand Americans, and that is obvious in every one of your shrill rants.
I suggest that right now trying to cover up Joey Puddingpants’ ongoing series of domestic and foreign policy failures can’t be covered up by juvenile taunts and the mid-term elections may off some inconvenient truths…
But go ahead, keep up the debunked, Hillary-funded Russian Collusion hoax, keep up the myth that lockdowns, masks, and experiment mRNA will do ave a ybody from anything.
Go ahead, silly trolls. I dare you…
Oh, and while I am flattered by all the attention you shower on me, (to paraphrase AOC) I’m not going to sleep with you.
I will, however, refer you back to your only hope:
